Probably not, but it will be able to prioritize things differently. Under socialism it doesn’t matter if it is profitable to build high-speed rail, or profitable to run it thereafter, the point isn’t to make money, the point is to transport people.
AuDHD cat. If you don’t know which pronoun to use, go for it/its. Kitty is for it/its and could be used instead of sir/ma’am.

someone so adamantly argue in clear bad-faith against someone who actually knows what they are talking about
To be fair, it is working really well.
It’s Flying Squid, I don’t recommend engaging.
Neither of these links show OBJECTION accepting a genocide.
Not to belittle your point, but calling Marx a socialist and Engles a capitalist is a kin as calling Jesus a Christian who’s disciples were Jews.
Cowbee didn’t do that. Cowbee said that Engles was a Capitalist, i.e. he had Capital, I am reading it as if you are mistaking it for Liberal? Cowbee also didn’t call Marx a socialist.
Yea I haven’t. But it changes none of what I have said.
As always, it ends like this.
This is rapidly devolving into bad-faith pedantry, but fine
No it isn’t.
Cowbee has asked multiple times for you to expand upon what you stated such that it can be engaged with. Much of what you have stated is vibes, it doesn’t contain any specifics. You feel that Marx would have been this way, you feel that china is authoritarian, none of it engages with reality, none of it contains any sources. If asking for this is bad-faith pedantry, then no discussion can be had.
No, his stance is that Communism, or as I believe Marx called it upper stage communism, has not been achieved. Lower stage communism‒or socialism‒has, as seen in China and the USSR. Both of these are/were communist, as in they are/were led by Marxist/communist parties working towards Communism.
And what is authoritarianism? What are tankies?
For this to be a fruitful discussion, you two have to agree on what the definition of things are
The first comment is self-contradictory, “not going to read” yet there is “circular logic”. If they haven’t read it, how can they know that it is there?
Why make a comment if you aren’t going to engage in good faith? What is the point?
You may not have seen it, but I changed it to an image with a bunch of quotes.
Correct, its what happened with the chips. And inshallah, the US will sanction itself into isolation.
Maybe not. But we have to options: Socialism or Barbarism. Continuing with Capitalism is going to lead to a worse outcome, going with Socialism and working to halt climate change will result in a better outcome. Not a great one, not undoing everything in 5 years, but still a better outcome.
